They really don't make such an animal. Just be prepared to replace your tires more often that's all.

The last number is always the diameter of the rim whether it be 9,10,11 or 12. As far as width goes you want the rim between 1 and 2 inches narrower for the rim, but not more than two. If it's much narrower, it will squeeze the beads too close together and the tire won't ride properly. See how there's a flat patch of tire that contacts the surface on the tires that are mounted on your bike now? If the rim is too narrow for the specific tire it won't have a flat patch, you'll have more of a rounded, moon-like contact patch. This leads to poor handling and premature tire wear. If you're buying rims and tires try to buy them in one kit. It's usually cheaper and then you don't have to worry bout having wrong sizes.
From what you're asking I take it your wanting to drop down an inch in height at the rear. Those size tires would fit, but you'll need to purchase the proper rims. And when referring to rim sizes it's two dimensions only (diameter x width). Tires have 3 dimensions (diameter x width x rim_diameter).
Hope this helps, good luck.

Hey i just got my 250 in december and i dont know to much, i was wondering, ya know how in tire sizings, its like 22x11x10 well i learned that the 10 in that size is the diamater of the rim but i wanted to get new tires that dont fit my stock rims so if i get the tires that i want, like lets say they are 22x11x9 well what size rim would i need and what does the width of the tire have to do in relation to the width of the rim because some tires that are 22x11x9 have 9x9 rims and some have 9x8 rims ect. So does it really matter what the width of the rim is. My stock rims in the front 10x5, 4/144 and my rears are 9x9, 4/110 kand the tires it self are 22x7x10 in the front and 22x10x9 so the rims that are 21x9x10, would they fit on my back rims
Please help

Hey, thanks man thats gonna really help me alot. The only problem with getting the tire/wheel kit, is that there is only stock tire/wheel kits in my tuckerrockydealer catolog. What I want to get, is the 660 Raptor tires, I think it is their stock tires, but there cool. Also I heard in a magazine that there is a part in your exaust pipe that makes the sound much loader, but it is illeagal, but what is the part because that is exactly what i want, because we all know that the 250ex is not a loud producing machine and well i want as much i can get, befor dropping $500 on the Yoshimura exaust kit im getting!
Thanks, very much and ride safely

Are there any racing/sport A-arms for the 250ex that are not stock that are good value?
